Abstract
Heat pumps are widely used for their high energy conversion efficiency and contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Developing low-GWP refrigerants has become a research focus, and mixed refrigerants are a potential solution. This study conducted the precise measurements of the vapor-liquid equilibrium properties of the ternary mixtures of R290(1)+R1234ze(E)(2)+CO2(3) with the liquid mole fraction of R290 varying from 0.2 to 0.4 and R1234ze from 0.5 to 0.75 over the temperature range of 268.15 to 313.15 K. The experimental VLE data of the ternary mixtures were fitted by PRSV+vdW model. The Absolute Average Relative Deviations (AARDs) for the equilibrium pressures, and the Absolute Average Deviations (AADs) for the vapor phase mole fractions of R290 and R1234ze(E) between the calculated results from the models and experimental ones were 0.82 %, 0.0038, and 0.0061 for the PRSV+vdW model. The model demonstrated a good correlation with the experimental data. The data reported is helpful for the application to new air-source heat pump system, and the VLE experiments and models are important for developing the thermophysical research of the environmental-friendly refrigerant mixtures.
期刊介绍:
Fluid Phase Equilibria publishes high-quality papers dealing with experimental, theoretical, and applied research related to equilibrium and transport properties of fluids, solids, and interfaces. Subjects of interest include physical/phase and chemical equilibria; equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermophysical properties; fundamental thermodynamic relations; and stability. The systems central to the journal include pure substances and mixtures of organic and inorganic materials, including polymers, biochemicals, and surfactants with sufficient characterization of composition and purity for the results to be reproduced. Alloys are of interest only when thermodynamic studies are included, purely material studies will not be considered. In all cases, authors are expected to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results.
Experimental research can include measurements under all conditions of temperature, pressure, and composition, including critical and supercritical. Measurements are to be associated with systems and conditions of fundamental or applied interest, and may not be only a collection of routine data, such as physical property or solubility measurements at limited pressures and temperatures close to ambient, or surfactant studies focussed strictly on micellisation or micelle structure. Papers reporting common data must be accompanied by new physical insights and/or contemporary or new theory or techniques.
